Natural Disasters Strikes: I stockpiled like crazy! - Chapter 100

Chapter 100: Special Monthly Event
Outside, Xiao Cao and the others who wanted return to the Empire Building had stopped midway because of the sudden snow.

The snowflakes plus the cold mist immediately soaked their clothes in icy water.

“Damn!” They let out shaky breaths and hugged themselves.

Xiao Cao shivered. “Brothers! I can’t go! It’s cold!” He ran back to the dormitory building.

Following him were others, having given up the plans.

….

In the Military Base, Wang Chul and the other base residents had also saw the snow.

Not only them, but in the Qianhe Mountain’s Base Shelter too.

Professor Zhang Heng was in the husbandry at the moment.

When he received the news, he became worried about the animals in the husbandry.

….

After catching a glimpse of the snow outside, everyone returned to the unit with mixed feelings.

Nanzhi cooked a hearty dinner yet the delicious food couldn’t lift everyone’s mood.

Fortunately, the cold didn’t follow them inside the unit. It was warm and cosy.

At this time, Lin Weihao received an unexpected call.

It was from Lin Yicheng.

The little dumpling was very excited when he heard his uncle’s voice in the phone but he became more excited when Lu Nanzhi answered the call.

“Big Sister!”

“En.” Nanzhi had a smile on her lips. She missed this soft and childish voice.

Lin Weihao propped himself next to hers and watched her smiling with relish.

Maybe, he should let his nephew talk with her more often.

“Big Sister! The chocolate fruits were very delicious but my uncle is bad! He ate a fourth of them when I tried to hide the box in the fridge and didn’t even tell me!”

Nanzhi could imagine the little dumpling stomping his short legs in grievance and she lightly laughed.

Lin Weihao was able to hear what Lin Yicheng said and leaned closer on the phone until his lips nearly grazed the side of her chin.

“Heh. I didn’t steal them. You traded them for the vegetables.”

Nanzhi could feel Lin Weihao’s hot breath on her skin and her eyes shook.

“Uncle, why are you eavesdropping?” Lin Yicheng’s voice became an octave lower, obviously surprised.

“If I wasn’t, I wouldn’t able to know of you accusing me a thief.”

“What Aunt! She’s my big sister and you only told me it’s a trade for half a quarter! I know fractions, Uncle!”

“It’s your Big Aunt and you agreed when you were about to go to sleep after finishing your milk.”

“Uncle, you’re so bad! I was sleepy at that time and didn’t know what you were talking about. And Uncle, please get off the phone, I want to talk to Big Sister.”

“Who is Sister Nan talking to the phone?” Yu Baoyin asked after observing Nanzhi. It was the first time Baoyin had seen her Sister Nan smiled like that.

“It must be Little Chen. It’s Brother Lin’s nephew staying in the Pearl City Military Base. That kid must have been very impatient.” Feng Ran answered while thinking about his family too.

He picked up his phone and tried to contact his Father but he was only greeted by beeping noises.

“He must probably busy.”

Bingwen and Hei Qian were orphans and didn’t have a biological family but they often keep in touch with Wang Chul and the others.

The two were outside doing a routine patrol for the security cameras, making sure they were working well.

Yu Baoyin became sad again. Her father was still out of reach.

“Big Sister, when will you be coming to the base?”

After his Uncle was finally out of the phone, Lin Yicheng got to have some alone time with Nanzhi and the boy had a lot of questions and stories to share.

“I don’t know yet but probably after the winter.”

“Okay! That’s a promise! When you come here, I’ll show you around our house! Grandmother had a small garden!”

“Okay.” Nanzhi agreed.

Outside, while Bingwen and Hei Qian were roaming in the 16th floor, they heard some noises and felt the floor slightly shake under their feet.

“Brother Hei, did you feel it too?” Bingwen was stunned and stopped walking.

Hei Qian nodded.

Suddenly, loud squeaking noises entered their ears.

It was followed by sounds akin to thousand horses galloping.

It was coming from the outside and inside the building.

Hei Qian and Brother Hei ran to the lower floor.

The hairs on the back of their necks stood when they found what it was.

“Big Sister, I heard from Uncle last night that there are wolves outside. He had forbidden me to go out. Big Sister, is that true?”

“Yes, it’s true. Listen to your Uncle. Don’t go outside at all. If I learn about you going outside, I won’t carve chocolate fruits desserts again.” Nanzhi said. Her eyes slowly drifting on the man sitting so close to her.

“No, I will good, Big Sister!” Lin Yicheng immediately promised.

He was actually curious about the wolves but that bit of curiosity disappeared after what his Big Sister said.

However, he became worried instead.

“But if the wolves are outside then doesn’t that mean you’ll encounter them when you come here! Oh no! Then, aren’t you all going to be in danger?”

“Big Sister, how about not coming here until Uncle Wang Chul drive those tanks to take care of the wolves!”

That might be plausible if it’s not winter and especially without the mist.

The harmonious scene came to halt when Nanzhi heard the alarm of the door goes off.

Everyone looked at the direction of the door.

Lin Weihao stood up and opened it.

It was Hei Qian and Bingwen.

The two were panting, quickly entered the unit and closed the door.

At the same time, a notification rang in Nanzhi’s ears.

Ding-

[Monthly Special Event had been triggered!]

[Double EXP Event is temporarily open.]

[You can earn Double EXP for the duration of six hours.]

‘What’s the use of that? I can’t even find a single alien beast inside the building. You should have given me that event when I was killing the coyotes.’

Such a waste.

Nanzhi wasn’t very pleased.

[Host, I don’t organize the events. I have to follow schedules.]

[Anyway, timer starts now!]

[Good Luck Player!]

[Countdown Timer: 5 hours: 59 minutes: 59 seconds.]

When Bingwen managed to catch his breath he immediately reported what he saw, “There are rats! So many rats outside and inside the building!”

Nanzhi, the EXP fanatic, immediately stood up.

Double Exp!
